This provided quite a decent part for Elissa Landi as the modern-day temptress "Myra". She's got a bit of a past, and so is unceremoniously expelled from British West Africa to the adjacent German colony - all whilst the Great War is looming. She's not exactly welcomed by her new hosts either, but luckily she has attracted the attention of a young solider "Erich" (Alexander Kirkland), a ten day whirlwind romance ensues and before his father "Baron von Sydow" (Warner Oland) can intern her, they are wed. The war comes, and she becomes embroiled in a secret espionage plot involving a map and another soldier "Kurt" (Paul Lukas) leaving the young woman with an whole host of divided loyalties... What is probably most striking about this film is the sight of Oland, before his "Charlie Chan" days, looking positively unkempt. Otherwise it's a pretty routine wartime romance with a tiny bit of a sinister plot to sharpen it up a little, but way too much romance and a dawdling pace to drag it down. Donald Crisp pops up too...

1930-12-27A notorious Mexican bandit goes all soft and mushy when he falls for a beautiful senorita. Warner Bros.' Captain Thunder contains some of the darndest Mexican accents you've ever heard in your life. The star is Hungarian-born Victor Varconi, portraying a legendary south of the border outlaw who tries to force Canadian senorita Fay Wray to marry a rival rustler whom she despises. She pleads with the bandito so pathetically that he is moved to grant her a single wish. Without hesitation she chooses her poor but true love. The bandit king, being a somewhat honorable fellow grants the wish and without a twitch, guns down the wicked cattle thief. Fortunately the film was played for comedy, a wise decision since it probably would have garnered laughs as a straight drama anyway.Maker of Men
